Sometimes you have no external reason to be joyful but remember, Joy is a choice!Paul was in prison. He had absolutely NO reason to be joyful but rejoice he did. He could rejoice "in the Lord". The Lord, powerful and joyous was inside Paul!
Do you feel restricted, accused, labeled, abused? Have you been hurt, blamed or neglected? Joy is your choice. Commit Philippians 4:4 to memory and pull it out when you feel like you are imprisoned. "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice".
Paul gives us the reason to choose joy in Philippians 4:5 "The Lord is near". What more could we want? Do not focus on the obstacles that surround you like the walls of a prison. Keep Paul's words in your heart and always on your lips. We always have reason for Joy!
